The Atlantic did and piece on the subject and people here ridiculed it as “the sky is falling”
Loyola Law School wrote a paper in 2019 on the subject. I posted the paper here and was accused of being a disgruntled Berniebro.
Loyola’s paper was written with Elizabeth Warren as the placeholder/assumed candidate.
I still maintain that winning Arizona and Georgia headed of the nightmare scenario. Had the election gone down to Pennsylvania only the prize may have been too tempting for the Pennsylvania Republican leadership to pass up. Instead the Pennsylvania GOP house leadership pretended to play above the fray — easy enough to do because going out on that limb wouldn’t have tipped the election.

INTRODUCTION
It is Election Night 2020. This time it is all eyes on Pennsylvania, as whoever wins the Keystone State will win an Electoral College majority. Trump is ahead in the state by 20,000 votes, and he is tweeting “The race is over. Another four years to keep Making America Great Again.”
The Associated Press (AP) and the networks have not yet declared Trump winner. Although 20,000 is a sizable lead, they have learned in recent years that numbers can shift before final, official certification of election results. They are afraid of “calling” the election for Trump, only to find themselves needing to retract the call—as they embarrassingly did twenty years earlier, in 2000. Trump’s Democratic opponent, _________ (fill in the blank with whichever candidate you prefer; I will pick Elizabeth Warren since at the moment she is the front-runner according to prediction markets),1 is not conceding, claiming the race still too close to call. Both candidates end the night without going in front of the cameras.
In the morning, new numbers show Trump’s lead starting to slip, and by noon it is below 20,000. Impatient, Trump holds an impromptu press conference and announces:
